Chapter 1685 Rejection
Guanzhou Cheng: "That's not the way to say it. You are young and have never been a local official. It's inevitable that you don't know that local officials are different from those in the capital. My lord, local officials have to rely on the small officials and clerks below to do things. Your indiscriminate attack will surely chill everyone's hearts! From now on... I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
"You'd better think twice!"
Shao Yunduan sneered: "Cheng Guan, are you reminding me or threatening me?"
Guanzhou Cheng laughed and said, "Of course I am reminding you with good intentions. After all, I am your deputy. If you don't understand something, I need to remind you. This is my duty."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Guanzhou Cheng," Shao Yunduan said with a half-smile, "I can't possibly give in to those subordinates who have ulterior motives and turn a blind eye to my orders. They asked for this, they made their own choices, and they have to bear the consequences. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they can give it a try!"
Guanzhou Cheng looked unhappy, but he held his breath and tried to smile: "Since your Excellency has made up his mind, I have nothing to say."
Shao Yunduan nodded: "Back off."
Guanzhou Cheng, holding back his anger, bowed, turned around and left.
His face was as dark as water.
Shao Yunduan posted a notice, ordering all the yamen runners who were late to come to the yamen to handle the resignation and handover. Those who came within two days would be given two extra months' salary. If they did not come within two days, they would not be given two extra months' salary.
At the same time, a job opening notice was posted to recruit people for the entire process.
First of all, Shao Yunduan added Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, Yang Mu and seven or eight people who had been recruited by Sun Bai and Sun Qian before into the team of yamen runners. Sun Bai, Sun Qian and Zheng Sangge were made chief constables. In addition, he promoted a constable named Hang Xingshan to be the chief constable.
The task of recruiting people was handed over to these four people, each of whom was to take a few yamen runners with him.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Not to mention the yamen runners under him, even Captain Ding and Captain Yu were anxious. Some did it secretly, some did not bother to cover up, and they hurried to the back of the provincial government office to find Mayor Guan for advice.
The governor of Guanzhou was overwhelmed, confused and exhausted from dealing with it.
He didn't expect Shao Yunduan to act so quickly and not leave anyone any wiggle room.
But he still didn't believe that Shao Yunduan would really fire so many people.
"Don't worry, just go back and wait patiently. This prefect is just bluffing! Just wait and see, he won't be able to hold out for long."
"Don't worry, I won't ignore you. The law does not punish everyone, so you must not give in now, otherwise, won't all your efforts be in vain?"
"Wait two more days, just these two days!"
"Recruiting people? Oh, if we can't recruit anyone, who else can we hire if not you?"
"Isn't this easy to do? You've been working as yamen runners for so long, don't you know whether this yamen can recruit people?"
“.…..”
Guanzhou Cheng's words made everyone suddenly realize what was going on. They then sneered and left with confidence.
Yes, since Guanzhou Cheng said so, he must be sure. He couldn't possibly deceive so many of them.
In fact, by this time, many people have already secretly regretted it.
Not all of these troublemakers are Guanzhou Cheng’s confidants.
After all, it takes time and effort to bribe people to be your confidants. Why would the governor of Guanzhou need to spend time and effort to bribe them?
